Equation Solution
EQUATION
Definition
An equation is a statement that expresses the equality of two mathematical expressions. An equation has an equal sign, a right side expression and a left side expression.
Examples of equations
3x + 3 = 2x + 4 : the left side of the equation is the expression 3x + 3 and the right side is 2x + 4.
2x + 3y = 2 - 2x : equation in two variables x and y.
Solutions of an Equation
If we substitute x by -3 in the equation 2x + 8 = -2x - 4, we obtain
left side: 2x + 8 = 2(-3) + 8 = -6 + 8 = 2
right side: -2x - 4 = -2(-3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
Since a substitution of x = - 3 in the equation gives a true statement 2 = 2, we call -3 the solution or root of the given equation 2x + 8 = -2x - 4. The set of all solutions of an equation is called the solution set... [ Read More ]

Origami for Kids to Make
For grownups, some of our fondest memories revolve around making origami as kids. Some of that simpler time can be captured by a little paper folding. Folding origami is also a great way for parents to spend quality time with kids without the need for any high tech gadget.
Folding origami gives parents a chance to sit down with kids and interact while creating something, and all without the noise of video games or tv programming.
Origami can also be taught in school as part of the curriculum.
Transforming a piece of plain paper into something else is an experience both adults and children can truly appreciate.
And best of all, they... [ Read More ]
